Last Tuesday after our AGM the club celebrated its 60th Anniversary with history, memorabilia, games and cake.
It was a night enjoyed by all present, with thanks to the sub-committee of Jenny Adams, Kirsten Morton, Stef Wendler-Canning, Fiona Jones, Belinda Kerr, Tim Keane and John Crawford.
Over the next few months information about the history of the club will be added to the website, and photos from the night have been added to our galleries.
On Tuesday, 18th August 2026 will be a short AGM followed by the Club’s 60th Anniversary Celebration.
So, if you are looking for a good night out that includes some of the Club’s history, light refreshments, games and birthday cake, please come along and feel free to bring spouses/partners who are also welcome to attend.
Best Regards,
John Crawford
WCC President

Bookings for the WCC Annual Presentation Dinner on Tuesday 9th December 2025 are now open via TryBooking. Bookings close on Thursday 27th November 2025.
This is a lovely evening; an opportunity to catch up with fellow Club members, acknowledge our achievements and congratulate the winners of our Annual Awards. Members’ portfolios will also be on display and end of year awards will be judged.
The dinner will be held at Mulgrave Country Club, as last year. The Committee have arranged for the Club to subsidise the two course dinner for members and partners.
Last weekend saw the successful and vibrantly colourful State Dahlia Show at the Mount Waverley Community Centre. Four of our members put together 24 beautiful photographs at very short notice, which were exhibited in the Trak Gallery. They really looked wonderful and along with Dahlia arrangements, 2 artists demonstrating drawing and painting and a fascinating stamp collection the gallery looked stunning.
We were recently approached by the Dahlia Society of Victoria to collaborate with them for their annual Show; in particular to provide and display some photographic prints showcasing Dahlias on the walls of the Track Gallery during their Annual Show.
There was not enough time to involve all of our members, however Leanne Poole and a few other members already have some Dahlia images which will be on display this weekend on behalf of the club.

If all goes well and we are invited to participate in next year’s show we will ensure all members are able to participate, including potential activities such as an outing to a Dahlia grower or a workshop taking photos of Dahlias in a studio.

Our ‘Through the Lens’ Exhibition 2024 was a resounding success.
The exhibition was viewed favourably with over 460 visitors attending the gallery. Feedback on the images was very positive with the words of one visitor summing up: “I loved them all.”
Here’s looking forward to the exhibition in 2025.
All of our images what were on display can be viewed in our Exhibition 2024 gallery.
